Handling is extremely user-friendly as the pillow protector is easy to put on and close with a zipper . The usual pillowcase can still be used over the pillow protector. Its softness ensures a comfortable sleeping experience. The product also creates a pleasant sleeping environment: it is breathable, waterproof and allergy-friendly. Stains caused by sweat, saliva or other liquids are therefore no longer a problem. Unpleasant scratching or excessive sweating is avoided. However, a slight rustling from the inside is possible, but does not significantly affect the overall pleasant sleeping experience. The pillow protector can be washed at up to 60°C and dried at a low temperature. However, the latter is not necessary due to the quick drying properties. The manufacturer currently offers different versions of the product that fit standard pillow sizes of 50-80 x 60-80 cm .
